Dear Tongqing, While you cannot save a surface as PDB or mmCIF, there are other file format options for that, like OBJ or STL. See the list of "3D objects" formats supported here: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html Best wishes, -- Ricardo Diogo Righetto Em ter., 5 de ago. de 2025 às 18:37, Elaine Meng via ChimeraX-users < chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> escreveu:
Hello, Sorry no, PDB and mmcif are atomic coordinate formats. They do not include surface information. Best regards, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear ChimeraX,
Is there a way to save a surface created by the “surface” command in the PDB or cif format?
